Brake Work??

True, Patrick.  I guess if I were in there far enough to replace a seal I
would notice any oddities in the brake area.  I just wouldn't want to
reccomend anyone to replace serviceable parts and cause unnecessary
spending.  Good point though.  I had thought that but just didn't write it!
